Hot or iced, Passion Fruit Black Tea is a fantastic choice for tea connoisseurs looking for a subtly flavored topical tea and for newer tea drinkers looking for “transitional teas” that bridge the gap between tea blends with strong flavors and pure, unflavored teas. The small black leaves and bits of actual passion fruit have an enticingly topical, sweet aroma with undertones of roasted nuts. The dark rust brew is malty, roasty, sweet and mellow with undertones of tart-sweet passion fruit. Try it hot with breakfast, brunch, afternoon tea foods (like cookies or sponge cakes) or desserts with chocolate, fruit or vanilla. Alternately, try it iced with a little lemon and brown sugar.

Tea to Water Ratio 1:1. If you prefer a stronger flavor, use up to two grams of tea for each cup of water.

Water: Filtered water is best. Use water at 212ºF (fully boiling)

Traditional Steeping: 3 to 5 minutes

Flash Steeping: First, we run warm water over the tealeaves and pour it off very quickly. This removes any impurities and “awakens” the tealeaves for brewing. Then, we steep the tea – 35 to 60 seconds.
